I used ammonia and water 1 water to 3 ammonia ratio to remove it from my hard wood floors. You may have to go over it a couple times.

I just made the mistake of picking up "polish" rather than "cleaner". My floor is ruined. Fortunately, I had only done a section of floor. I am reading now what to do about it. Can't believe how many "mad" people there are who already ruined their floors---never again. Once they are fixed- think I will try the ammonia/water mix. Wish me luck-- Goodbye Bona!!!!!

YES!!!! I just spent an entire day stripping it off my floor successfully! Simply sprayed Windex (the one WTIH Ammonia), used a non-scratch scouring sponge to scrub the floor, and a wet towel to wash it away. Took all day but I have a lot of hardwood. It was actually pretty easy and my floors are back!!!!

Not if you clean it up in a reasonable amount of time. I spilled some on hardwood but cleaned it up within a couple hours and it was fine. It just gets sticky after a while so you may need Goo-gone or something to help

I was advised by Lowe's NOT to use it so I gave it to my daughter for her hardwood floors. Apparently it damages the layer of laminate at the edges of the boards.

It won't hurt the floor, but it would be uncomfortable if you walk on the floor in bare feet! Also, I would think the only way to remove it would be to sand/refinish the floor.

i believe removal instructions are on pkg. but incase im thinking of a different one, u can get the intertape cust. service # from the web to ask them. on my wood floors where i used this, i just barely hit it with a $20 steamer from euro pro and it came off very very easily and i just wiped up but there really wasnt any residue, i just wanted to be extra careful. hope this helps.

If you have a piece of leftover flooring try the Goo B Gone on it Another suggestion is to go to Home Depot and inquire I only used the only used the Sticky Paws on fabriccIt did not work any better on fabric

so far, I just shake it. Might vacuum or use sticky roller. I would look on computer for customer help ph. no. of B&H; and ask them.

I have the same problem. Like you I tried sanding. It helped a little but not very much. You might just want to resign yourself to living with the stains, not the end of the world. I suppose you could get it replaced but that might be a big project. Wish I could be of more help. To prevent the stains from getting worse, use John Boos Mystery oil regularly, it's good stuff. You can let it sit overnight which will help it get absorbed by the wood.

Hi Eric- Yeah, it should not be a problem at all as there are no solvents to eat the laminate. I'd still be careful not to flood the area, but if it's already been flooded by a less pleasant liquid- what the hell- go for it. It won't damage your floor any more that it already has been.

Oh, NO, please don't. I wish I had asked others like you do now before I purchased and used them on my wood floor. I have scratches on my floor now. The contact side is hard plastic. So if there is any tiny debris or particles, it leaves scratches. Even it is absolutely clean, the contact is not smooth for moving and causes damage easily. Noop...

I don't recall details ....th BONA site had detail discussion on this topic. I have just started using BONA on my wood and tile floors and never had the need to remove .... I do recall a very specific discussion on "polish" vs refresher. Polish is what you need to concern yourself with for removal whereas refresher was easier to deal with

There's a special solution just for wood floors. The bottle is brownish in color. I think it's a new product. I tried it, and it's better than using the regular cleaner on it.

I believe this is only safe for finished floors. I would call a woodshop to see what you could use to clean your wood before finishing. Once you have finished your floor, I would recommend Bona to clean it. Good luck.

It leaves TONS of residue the can NEVER be removed!! I tried everything to get it off of my beautiful wooden coffee table from goof off, orange clean, ammonia, hot water and soap and good old elbow grease. It has been over a year since I removed it and the nasty residue (now black) is still on my table. It will be there until I give up and get a new coffee table.

I'm not sure if you mean the wood under the rug, or the rug itself. If it's the rug, I suggest using Folex Instant Carpet Spot Remover, since that stuff gets out everything very easily! If it's the wood itself then you're looking at more of a long-term water damage scenario, which is a lot harder to deal with. You would have to dry it out, but probably end up having to sand and re-finish that part of the floor. I'm hoping it's the rug, in which case Folex will take it out really fast. I've had no luck with Bio Kleen taking out ANY stains from anything though.

The only thing I've found is regular cleaning with Bona Floor Cleaner, and a new coat of clear varnish. Sorry :(
